Sparkle and Fade is the second album by Everclear, released in 1995. It was their first album to be released exclusively on Capitol Records; their previous effort, World of Noise, was re-released on Capitol after its introduction through the Portland, Oregon based label, Tim/Kerr Records. The album produced the singles “Heroin Girl,” “Santa Monica,” “Heartspark Dollarsign,” and “You Make Me Feel Like a Whore.” The album’s music follows themes like addiction and romance through a loosely defined narrative similar to Art Alexakis’ own troubled life when he was in his twenties.

Sparkle and Fade became a surprise hit thanks to “Santa Monica,” a gritty, infectious grunge hit that captured Everclear at their best. Like many grunge and post-grunge rockers, however, Everclear’s leader, Art Alexakis, felt constrained by his modest success and its implications, deciding to take his band in new experimental directions for their follow-up album, So Much for the Afterglow. As the title suggests — as well as song titles like “One Hit Wonder,” “White Men in Black Suits,” and “Everything to Everyone” — Alexakis is feeling a bit ambivalent about his success, believing that it’s only a transient thing. He may be right — So Much for the Afterglow lacks anything as catchy as “Santa Monica.” He attempts to compensate by adding a more elaborate production, complete with Beach Boy harmonies and guest musicians. The result sounds cluttered, not symphonic, and distracts from Everclear’s strength as a straight-ahead grunge trio. There are several songs on the album that do showcase the group at their best, but they aren’t enough to excuse the confused attempts at progression that make So Much for the Afterglow a muddled affair.
